Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, not to be confused with the 2011 game of the same name, doesn’t officially launch until November 10 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. But if you preordered the game you can get early access to the single-player campaign, which contains a total of 15 missions.
Fitbit models like the Luxe, Inspire 2, and Sense 2 are already on sale ahead of Black Friday 2023.
Listen up, fitness folks: Despite the fact that we still have (almost) a solid month left before Black Friday 2023, top Fitbit models are already on sale at multiple retailers Check out our top picks below:
It’s beginning to look a lot like… Black Friday 2023, which means retailers from Amazon to Best Buy to Walmart are already dropping some satisfying savings on top products. If you’ve been wanting to invest in a high-quality Fitbit for a while (either as a self-care purchase or to treat your loved ones), but have been nervous about some of the models’ prices, today’s your lucky day.
If you treat holiday shopping just as seriously as you do your health, this might be a fine time to start checking people off the Christmas list by purchasing some of these top Fitbits currently on discount. Below are all the best Fitbits you can get on sale today — as a little “soft launch” into holiday sales.
The Fitbit Luxe fitness watch model is the perfect middle ground between a feature-packed Fitbit and one that looks slim/cute on your wrist. The watch provides fitness lovers with 24/7 heart rate trends, tells them how long they spend in “active zones” during workouts, monitors sleep, and even offers a lineup of stress management tools. With a free, six-month trial of Fitbit Premium, you can explore an even broader range of the Fitbit Luxe’s capabilities. What can be better than having a trusty little fitness pal that doubles as attention-grabbing eye candy?
The Fitbit Inspire 2 proves that you don’t need to dish out more than $60 for a fitness watch that will check all the boxes. One of the cool features of this watch is the Daily Readiness Score, which tells you if you’re ready to seize the day with exercise or should instead take it easy. The watch also tracks your daily activity (steps, distance, calories burned, etc.) and your nightly activity both (time spent in light, deep, and REM sleep). As an added bonus, the tracker is swim-friendly — something all the water signs out there are sure to appreciate.
Closely resembling an Apple Watch, the Fitbit Sense 2 is the brand’s most advanced watch yet. You’ll see that reflected in all it can do for you — including tracking things like altitude changes, blood oxygen levels, ECG, duration of sleep stages, skin temperature, and beyond. With over 40 exercise modes, this watch is ideal for runners, skiers, stand-up paddleboarders, and everyone in between. Plus, the Sense 2 basically functions like a phone. You can take calls on it, use Google Maps, tap-to-pay, receive Gmail notifications…you get the point. Score this fantastic buy today, while it’s $50 off.

We’re keeping a running list of the best Black Friday laptop deals as holiday sales begin at Best Buy, Dell, and Lenovo.
We’re keeping a running list of the best Black Friday laptop deals as holiday sales begin to trickle out at various tech retailers.
Unlike video game consoles, headphones, certain LEGO sets, and cheap TVs, laptops aren’t the sort of products you have to worry about selling out early on in the holiday season. Whether you’re after one of the powerful new Apple MacBook Pros or a basic Chromebook for schoolwork, most shoppers can comfortably wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday to scoop one up at a serious discount.
That being said, those who want to get their shopping out of the way ahead of schedule (and avoid the post-Thanksgiving chaos) can already peruse a number of early Black Friday laptop deals at major tech retailers: Best Buy released an initial wave of doorbusters in late October, and Dell and Lenovo were both hosting Black Friday Sneak Peek sales in early November.
Below, we’re keeping a running list of the early Black Friday laptop deals worth adding to your cart. Check back often, as we’ll be updating our picks regularly in the lead-up to the actual holiday on Friday, Nov. 24.
Google’s new Chromebook Plus line is a series of elevated (but still affordable) ChromeOS laptops with built-in Google apps, Full HD IPS displays, and 1080p+ cameras with AI features. This 14-inch HP Chromebook Plus x360 is a 2-in-1 model that has a 12th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, and Best Buy’s impressive early Black Friday discount takes it down to just $379. (A 46% discount on a laptop that’s barely a month old is genuinely wild to see.) It’s a compelling choice for anyone hunting for a capable budget laptop.
Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, 15.6-inch (Intel Core i7-1360P, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $999.99 $1,549.99 (save $550); extra $50 off for paid My Best Buy members
Sporting a 16:10 display with a 120Hz refresh rate and NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics, Dell’s Inspiron 16 Plus is basically the affordable lovechild of a desktop replacement laptop and a gaming PC. (Our sister site PCMag gave it an “Excellent” 4/5 rating and recommended it for users who want a “16-inch laptop with a little more visual oomph than average.”) This particular configuration has a 13th-gen Intel Core i7 H-series CPU, a GeForce RTX 3050 GPU 16GB of memory, and a terabyte of storage. You can get it on sale for $999.99 via Dell’s website during its Black Friday Sneak Peek event, which works out to a 31% savings.

Lenovo’s IdeaPad Slim 5 is a solid mid-range pick for multitasking that has a 1080p webcam, a nice backlit keyboard, and a 16-inch, 16:10 display (albeit with a very average 60Hz refresh rate). This configuration Lenovo is on sale for $549.99 (or 41% off) during its own Black Friday Sneak Peek event, and is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U CPU with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, which are relatively rare specs in the sub-$600 price range.

Oh my god, it’s November. Don’t ask me how or why. I don’t make the rules and I have no answers. What I do have, however, is a solid list of game recs for your weekend.
Many of the best robot vacuums will be on sale for Black Friday, and several mopping and self-emptying deals are already live. Get the 2023 Shark Matrix for $199 at Walmart or the Roomba Combo j5+ with obstacle avoidance for $499.99.
UPDATE: Nov. 3, 2023, 3:00 a.m. EDT This post has been updated with the best early Black Friday robot vacuum deals including self-emptying robot vacuums, hybrid robot vacuums, and cheap standalone robot vacuums from iRobot, Shark, Roborock, and more.
Robot vacuums feel like they’re everywhere and nowhere all at once in the good year of 2023. Shopping holidays have gone hard in this category for years, but you still may not know anyone who actually has one. If you’re wondering if robot vacuums are actually worth it, your best bet is to scope out Black Friday robot vacuum deals to try one yourself, already.
By Black Friday, we mean the entire month of November. Retailers like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy have all already cut the virtual ribbon on their Black Friday sales, so unless you’re waiting for a very specific premium robot vacuum deal (like the Roomba Combo j9+‘s first discount, if that even happens), there’s no real point in waiting until Black Friday — and denying yourself several weeks of one less chore — to buy a robot vacuum.
Below, we’re tracking the robot vacuum deals live ahead of Black Friday. Early deals are organized into three sections — standalone robot vacuums, self-emptying robot vacuums (that don’t mop), and robot vacuum/mop hybrids — and listed in order of price. We’ll update this list with more models as they go on sale ahead of Black Friday.
The limbo period between Amazon’s second Prime Day of the year and Black Friday is Shark’s time to shine, apparently. For a solid cheap Shark option, skip the outdated $129 Shark ION and opt for one from the newer Matrix line instead. For less than $200, the RV2300 model (without an auto-empty dock) secures LiDAR-powered smart home mapping and virtual boundaries, plus Shark’s Matrix technology, which tackles debris from multiple angles in a crosshatch pattern to grab anything that was missed on the first pass.
Shark itself claims that the Matrix dishes out 50% more suction power than the Roomba i3 — and when the Roomba i3 costs $100 more even on sale, we’d understand if that’s an experiment you’re willing to test.
iHome AutoVac Juno — $99 $199 (save $100.99)
iRobot Roomba 694 — $159.99 $274.99 (save $115)
Roborock Q5 — $279.99 $429.99 (save $150 with on-page coupon)
Shark released several iterations of its flagship robot vacuum in 2023. This chic black and silver RV2310AE model is on sale at Amazon for less than $300 — a 40% price cut and a record-low price (according to camelcamelcamel) by far. Home mapping and virtual boundaries guided by 360-degree LiDAR are present here, plus Shark’s newest claim to fame: its Matrix cleaning technique that vacuums in a crosshatch pattern to grab any debris missed from the first angle.
Roborock Q5+ — $449.99 $699.99 (save $250 with on-page coupon)
The s9+ hasn’t been the latest or greatest Roomba since iRobot started rolling out its j Series robot vacs in 2021. But it should still be a serious contender if you have pets or lots of thick carpeting in your home — especially when on sale for $599.99, which is just $100 away from the $499.99 it hit during Prime Big Deal Days. For reference, the only Roombas with stronger suction power than the s9+ are the j9+ and Combo j9+, which go for $899.99 and $1,399.99, respectively.
Eufy X8 Pro — $549.99 $649.99 (save $100)
iRobot has also started pushing out Black Friday deals, but more quietly than the big retailers. One discount flying under the radar that needs to be called out is on the Roomba Combo j5+, which is one of five new Roombas just launched in September. At nearly 40% off, the Roomba Combo j5+ is sitting at $499.99 — the same sale price that the less-fancy Roomba Combo i5+ is currently seeing.
Both models mop and require you to be home to manually click the water tank on, and both can map your home and avoid (or tackle) carpeted rooms on command. But there’s one huge difference between the Combo i5 and Combo j5: The j5 Series are the cheapest Roombas that use iRobot’s obstacle avoidance tech to avoid eating phone chargers or smearing pet waste if the vacuum finds an accident before you do. This capability, which we first experienced when testing the Combo j7+, is an absolute game changer if your previous gripe with robot vacuums was that you had to clean up before sending them out to clean.

Black Friday sales have already begun, bringing with them a bunch of Apple discounts. Here are our favorites as of Nov. 2:
Deals on Apple products actually aren’t too hard to find — if you know where and when to look. While you don’t have to wait for a shopping holiday to get savings on iPads, MacBooks, and more, Black Friday Apple deals tend to be some of the best of the year.
This year, Black Friday savings are in line with years past and starting nice and early, with Best Buy, Walmart, and more all running sales throughout the month before we officially hit Black Friday on Nov. 24.
If you’re looking to save big on some new Apple gear this holiday season, you can start shopping now. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best Black Friday Apple deals that are already live.
Check out our full review of the M2 MacBook Air.
If you’re looking for a zippy work-from-home machine or the perfect school companion, look no further. Though Apple did just release the new M3 chip to its iMac and MacBook lineup, the M2 is still plenty powerful. You’ll also get 13.6 inches of display (as opposed to the 13.3 inches of the previous gen Air), a near-perfect keyboard, and best of all, this laptop at its lowest price ever.

We’re not going to lie, this $249 price tag is far from a Black Friday exclusive. This tablet has hit this all-time low price a few times this year, including during last month’s Prime Day sale, but it’s also sat at higher price points of $279 and up. We wouldn’t recommend this tablet if you need anything more heavy-duty, but for a basic tablet that gets the job done, you’ll be saving at least $150 more than if you went for any other iPad. Grab it on sale at Amazon and Walmart.

The Apple Watch SE is an affordable option if you’re in the market for a smartwatch, but don’t need many fitness features. Usually, its price will dip down by $30 every now and then, which makes for a pretty decent deal, but Black Friday season has brought us something even better, with this 44mm SE that’s down almost $45. That’s roughly $5 away from its lowest price ever (that we’ve only seen it hit once). If you want to avoid the Black Friday madness and don’t mind opting for the midnight colorway, this is a solid deal to jump on ahead of the official holiday.

Read our full review of the second-generation AirPods Pro.
If you’re looking for a quality pair of noise-canceling earbuds, look no further than the AirPods Pro. They’re our favorite buds for traveling, with Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder deeming them, “the first pair of earbuds I’d actually consider taking on an airplane (instead of my much larger and clunkier over-ear headphones).” They also come with 30 total hours of battery life with the charging case (six hours per charge), great sound quality, and easy pairing to all of your Apple devices. Plus, their $189 price tag puts them back down to their lowest price ever (alongside the USB-C AirPods Pro).
